Will audio streaming devices push out computer audio?

Network players have already replaced computer audio for the most part, at least in terms of performance and value; that goes for both streaming content and privately owned libraries stored on NAS devices.

For those of us with sizable collections of non-released material (e.g. live concert recordings) NAS drives & network players won't be replaced by streaming services, but they surely make some sense for the future of commercial releases. My skepticism about the long term health of these companies is a problem not yet overcome. Cheers,

@mapman I respectfully beg to differ. IMHE, and generally agreed upon by wide consensus of many computeraudio-obsessed on CA forums, bluetooth audio isn't a serious competitor and barely deserves consideration in a high fidelity system. Wifi is far better than bluetooth, but although the electrical noise is reduced with wifi, wifi is not immune to wireless interference and it's sound quality rarely equals that of the same routers/NAS etc, when connected via a good quality CAT6 or CAT6A ethernet cable (e.g. Bluejean Cable). I've had a number here who tested this with me and none of us preferred the SQ via wifi vs. ethernet.

Also when you recommend "any commercial computer capable of running the software needed" that advice is broad brush and might help a novice who hasn't tried most of the digital concepts regularly discussed here. However, it isn't really going to help a more experienced audio enthusiast take his digital to near the highest levels available today.
Unless you are talking about HQ Player doing 8x DSD conversion etc., it is rare that any windows or mac o/s computer will be part of a top tier digital rig. I've tried most and other approaches discussed in many other threads take the digital game to as Keegan Michael Key would say  "a whole 'nuther level". Cheers,
